Waves of Change - Photo a Day


9 more days! This photo is a part of the story of Jayalakshmi, an amazing soul from the heart of Sellur, an urban slum in Madurai, India.

Jayalakshmi, a Kalanjiam member through DHAN foundation, shows us how the nutrition is not lost when she drinks the water that the rice has been washed in, but only once that water has been cycled through the bio-sand filter. Prior to using the in home water filter, the rice water not only tasted sour, but would often result in some water bourne illness such as diarrhoea for someone in the family, that in turn would cause loss of critical work days and income.
